Our Campus and Building

In 2012, property was purchased in Amberley Village to serve as the site for a permanent home for Congregation Sha’arei Torah, AKA the Village Shul. The new synagogue building is a one story structure designed to nestle into the 6.4 acres of the property’s wooded and rolling terrain.The building was designed by a committee of synagogue members, led by past presidents Howard Mayers and Norman Frankel, architect Michael Maltinsky, and Jeff Epstein. Similarly, the Aron Kodesh was designed by a committee of shul members, led by architect Michael Maltinsky, Cynthia and Bob Rosen, and artist Shoni Golin-Cahn. The beautiful parochet was designed and created by member artist Shoni Golin-Cahn.

Our permanent address at 2400 Section Road in Amberley Village is geographically central in the region, relatively affordable in terms of housing stock, and at the center of Jewish life in Cincinnati. Amberley Village affords close access to major regional thoroughfares, the Ronald Reagan Cross County Highway and Interstates 75 and 71.

Residents of Amberley Village enjoy short commutes to downtown and all areas of greater Cincinnati for business and work. The location also facilitates easy access to museums, ball parks, parks, the Aronoff Center, Playhouse in the Park, and downtown businesses and social events.

Amberley Village is home to the core institutions of committed Jewish life including 6 synagogues (more than any other community in Cincinnati), a new mikveh, the Mayerson JCC, Jewish Family Service, the Jewish Federation, and Cincinnati Hebrew Day School, one of the two Jewish day schools in Cincinnati. Amberley Village residents are in close proximity to regularly patronize all the approved kosher restaurants.
